Clients will send me a deck that has been populated with content by the presenter(s). My first step is to begin with a full read through of the deck. At this point, I’ll make a list of any questions or indicate parts of the presentation that seem repetitive or unclear. Once these are clarified, I begin designing. If there are charts or graphs, I’ll make sure they conform to brand standards. Imagery is added to make sure the webinar isn’t all “bullet” slides. My aim is to end up with a presentation that is visual engaging, while still true to the main purpose—educating the audience.
Here are a few sample slide layouts, along with a screen shot of slide sorter view of an entire sample deck.
